[ZacNaloen]

Where on earth did you see that?

According to family on twitter, Steve Seddon will be stepping up two years to play for the u18's tonight.

As will Scotland youth international Tom McIntyre, the victim of twitter abuse from Floyd a few months ago.

This is promising though, they're 14/15 (Year 10) so they can get some valuable experience. It's not unheard of at other clubs (Chelsea in particular make a habit of using 14 year olds in their U18s, I think Patrick Bamford is one beneficiary) but it's the first time I can remember us doing it for about a decade.

If anyone went and has a photo of these two next to Kelly, please post it

On Monday 3rd March Reading u21 are away at Liverpool KO 7pm the match is live on LFC TV and I know at least one streamer shows these matches.
will post link nearer to Monday.

Looks as if anyone with SKY can watch LFC TV on chanel 429 without subscription.

Promising Reading FC youngster Matt Partridge may face jail after ‘road rage’ incident - http://www.newburytoday.co.uk/2014/foot ... e-incident … #ReadingFC

[P!ssed Off]

What a oxf*rd.
Cancel his contract regardless of whether he's sent to prison.

[sandman]

Bout time we had a hard nut in the team.

[From Despair To Where?]

Part of me says everyone deserves a chance at reforming. However, to use such an extreme level of disproportionate violence suggests he doesn't have the self control to not let it happen again in some form and we should get rid.

[SCIAG]

Mostly old news.

A very talented young player, but I wouldn't mind seeing him after this. I suspect this is part of the reason why he's fallen down the pecking order at the club.

[Cape Town Royal]

What a oxf*rd.
Cancel his contract regardless of whether he's sent to prison.

Absolutely!!

I know football has few morals but I have enough pride in my club to not want scum bags like this wearing our shirt... Maybe the way to give him a second chance is to bomb him out so he can have a good look at himself and realise what he's lost....

That said if he did stay and make it through, a temper like that could make for an interesting sweep stake on his career red card tally!!.

Get rid!

[maffff]

In better news, the u18's beat Spurs 3-2 on Saturday.

We were 2-0 down at half time, but goals from Shaughnessy, Hyam and Lawal 70 turned it around.

Team was

Lewis Ward
Tennai Watson
Nana Owusu
Connor Shaughnessy
Robert Dickie
Dominic Hyam
Noor Husin
Sammi Fridjonsson
Harry Cardwell
Liam Kelly
Hammad Lawal

Subs
George Legg
George McLennan
Amadu Waritay
Jake Sheppard
Bogdan Vastuk

No space for McIntyre or Seddon in the matchday 16.

[MouldyRoyal]

Presumably that is why we haven't seen Partridge in the U21s for a while...

[ZacNaloen]

Yep.

he also lashed out in a loan game at Birmingham, clearly has issues.

[maffff]

It's not his first off the pitch indiscretion too, didn't he get done a while back for assaulting someone?

He was meant to be one that genuinely had a chance to make it, too.

[ZacNaloen]

Well he's a oxf*rd so can oxf*rd off.

Games on liverpool tv tonight right?

[maffff]

Yep, that it is.

[winchester_royal]

Looking forward to that. Haven't seen the likes of Tanner in a while.

The U16's were also victorious against Spurs this weekend. Josh Barrett with a brace to celebrate recently signing scholar forms.

Going on the little I've seen about the u16's so far they could be an even more talented bunch, if they develop..... some very promising youngsters there.
